@PonchoPowers,

Thank you for you contribution.

anymore is already in the US English dictionary, but it is not considered correct in British English.

PonchoPowers commented 4 days ago

Microsoft Word's own British English dictionary accepts it, because in British English, it is acceptable to put two words together, such as:

website doorman

I think that when a word is clearly used hands-down in a language, it should certainly be regarded as at least a valid variant. (And it is, by most authorities on standard English.)

@PonchoPowers,

I have gotten angry email about what is / is not British English. Especially WRT ize.

Please open an issue/PR here: https://github.com/marcoagpinto/aoo-mozilla-en-dict/issues

If it gets added there, then it will get added here.

Kid regards, Jason
